Second, seemingly legit, job posting that's contacted me after the fact to download Signal/Telegram. I'm in now way going to do it, not that dumb, just wondering if this is a new trend I'm not aware of?

I don't see how downloading Signal is directly making this a scam? It might just be that the company cares about security and privacy and isn't comfortable sharing confidential company data over something like LinkedIn?

If the offer seems legit and you applied for it there is no way you can get scammed just by texting them on Signal.
